Marsha Charbonneau

I have been retired for a few years. I love and enjoy keeping busy as well as working with my hands. After a while of staying at home I decided I wanted to do something different so, I attended classes to learn how to make Jewelry. I set up my beading to see just what the product will look like beforehand. If you want a customized piece please let me know. I branched out to Wind Chimes soon after to give my customers another thing of beauty. I thought my customers would enjoy it as much as I do.
